Ingredients for Apple Crisp Tarts

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• Cornmeal

How to Make Apple Crisp Tarts

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and cold butter. Cut the butter into the flour mixture using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Stir in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
5. Prepare the filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, toss the apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
6. Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 4-inch cookie cutter or a knife to cut out 12 circles.
7. Press each dough circle into a mini muffin tin or tart pan.
8. Fill each tart shell with the apple mixture.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
10. Let cool slightly in the tins before serving. Enjoy warm!
